Differentiation of Hamartomas and Malignant Lung Tumors in Single-Phased Dual-Energy Computed Tomography
This study investigated the efficacy of single-phase dual-energy CT (DECT) in differentiating pulmonary hamartomas from malignant lung lesions using virtual non-contrast (VNC), iodine, and fat quantification. Forty-six patients with 47 pulmonary lesions (mean age: 65.2 ± 12.1 years; hamartomas-to-malignant lesions = 22:25; male: 67%) underwent portal venous DECT using histology, PET-CT and follow-up CTs as a reference. Quantitative parameters such as VNC, fat fraction, iodine density and CT mixed values were statistically analyzed. Significant differences were found in fat fractions (hamartomas: 48.9%; malignancies: 22.9%; p ≤ 0.0001) and VNC HU values (hamartomas: −20.5 HU; malignancies: 17.8 HU; p ≤ 0.0001), with hamartomas having higher fat content and lower VNC HU values than malignancies. CT mixed values also differed significantly (p ≤ 0.0001), but iodine density showed no significant differences. ROC analysis favored the fat fraction (AUC = 96.4%; sensitivity: 100%) over the VNC, CT mixed value and iodine density for differentiation. The study concludes that the DECT-based fat fraction is superior to the single-energy CT in differentiating between incidental pulmonary hamartomas and malignant lesions, while post-contrast iodine density is ineffective for differentiation.

期刊介绍:
TomographyTM publishes basic (technical and pre-clinical) and clinical scientific articles which involve the advancement of imaging technologies. Tomography encompasses studies that use single or multiple imaging modalities including for example CT, US, PET, SPECT, MR and hyperpolarization technologies, as well as optical modalities (i.e. bioluminescence, photoacoustic, endomicroscopy, fiber optic imaging and optical computed tomography) in basic sciences, engineering, preclinical and clinical medicine.
Tomography also welcomes studies involving exploration and refinement of contrast mechanisms and image-derived metrics within and across modalities toward the development of novel imaging probes for image-based feedback and intervention. The use of imaging in biology and medicine provides unparalleled opportunities to noninvasively interrogate tissues to obtain real-time dynamic and quantitative information required for diagnosis and response to interventions and to follow evolving pathological conditions. As multi-modal studies and the complexities of imaging technologies themselves are ever increasing to provide advanced information to scientists and clinicians.
Tomography provides a unique publication venue allowing investigators the opportunity to more precisely communicate integrated findings related to the diverse and heterogeneous features associated with underlying anatomical, physiological, functional, metabolic and molecular genetic activities of normal and diseased tissue. Thus Tomography publishes peer-reviewed articles which involve the broad use of imaging of any tissue and disease type including both preclinical and clinical investigations. In addition, hardware/software along with chemical and molecular probe advances are welcome as they are deemed to significantly contribute towards the long-term goal of improving the overall impact of imaging on scientific and clinical discovery.
